Senior AI Engineer

Overview

Join bp as Senior AI Engineer. We’re looking for engineers who think holistically, automate relentlessly, and are proficient in the fast paced world of AI tooling and infrastructure—with grounded engineering principles. The AI Acceleration organization builds high-impact AI-powered applications that deliver real business value at speed.

This role focuses on building and deploying scalable AI-powered applications through strong software engineering and pragmatic use of modern AI capabilities. This is a role for top-tier engineers excited about applying AI in practical and scalable ways.

We’re seeking individuals who thrive at the intersection of rigorous software development and modern AI applications, comfortable across the full lifecycle of a product—from ideation and architecture to deployment and automation—while navigating ambiguity and driving toward execution. Strong systems thinking, ownership, and the ability to ship value fast are essential.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain production-grade AI applications and services using modern software engineering practices (CI / CD, testing, observability, cloud-native design).
• Define and implement foundational platforms and tools (e.g., conversational bots, AI-powered search, unstructured data processing, GenBI) that are reusable and scalable across the enterprise.
• Participate in cross-functional team initiatives—embedded projects with business stakeholders—to rapidly build and deploy AI solutions addressing high-priority business problems.
• Evaluate and integrate existing AI tools, frameworks, and APIs (e.g., LLMs, vector DBs, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents) into robust applications.
• Champion automation in workflows—from data management ingestion and preprocessing to evaluation, to model integration and deployment.
• Collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and other engineers to ensure end-to-end delivery and reliability of AI products.
• Stay current with emerging AI technologies, prioritizing practical application and delivery over experimental research.
• Contribute to internal knowledge bases, tooling libraries, and documentation to scale AI engineering standard methodologies across the organization.
